Just realized frozen vegetables beat fresh for budget meal prep

I kept buying fresh broccoli and bell peppers for my weekly meal prep, but they'd go bad by day 4. Switched to frozen bags from Aldi at $1.29 each and they last months. Saves me about $15 a week and I'm not throwing out slimy produce. Anyone else made the switch and noticed a difference?

I saw some food science guy say frozen veggies are actually picked at peak ripeness and flash frozen, so they can have more nutrients than fresh stuff that sits on a truck for a week. My grandma always swore by frozen peas for that reason.

Your grandma was ahead of the curve, then.
